Constructions are given of Noetherian maximal orders that are finitely presented algebras over a field K, defined by monomial relations. In order to do this, it is shown that the underlying homogeneous information determines the algebraic structure of the algebra. So, it is natural to consider such algebras as semigroup algebras K[S] and to investigate the structure of the monoid S. The relatio...

In this paper, we define what we call (non)degenerate valued and graded division algebras [Definition 3.1] and use them to give examples of division p-algebras that are not tensor product of cyclic algebras [Corollary 3.17] and examples of indecomposable division algebras of prime exponent [Theorem 5.2, Corollary 5.3 and Remark 5.5]. We give also, many results concerning subfields of these divi...

The goal of this paper is to give a new method of constructing finite-dimensional semisimple triangular Hopf algebras, including minimal ones which are non-trivial (i.e. not group algebras). The paper shows that such Hopf algebras are quite abundant. It also discovers an unexpected connection of such Hopf algebras with bijective 1-cocycles on finite groups and set-theoretical solutions of the q...

The central objects of study in this thesis are quantized coordinate algebras. These algebras originated in the 1980s in the work of Drinfeld and Jumbo and are noncommutative analogues of coordinate rings of algebraic varieties. The organic nature by which these algebras arose is of great interest to algebraists. In particular, investigating ring theoretic properties of these noncommutative alg...

Let $ {\mathcal{A}} be a unital \ast -algebra containing nontrivial projection. Under some mild conditions on , it is shown that map \Phi:{\mathcal{A}}\rightarrow{\mathcal{A}} nonlinear mixed Jordan triple * -derivation if and only \Phi an additive -derivation. In particular, we apply the above result to prime -algebras, von Neumann algebras with no central summands of type I_{1} factor algebra...

Let H be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. If H is not semisimple and dim(H) = 2n for some odd integers n, then H or H * is not unimodular. Using this result, we prove that if dim(H) = 2p for some odd primes p, then H is semisimple. This completes the classification of Hopf algebras of dimension 2p. In recent years, there has been some pro...

We establish a necessary condition for a commutative Banach algebra A so that there exists a homomorphism θ from A into another Banach algebra such that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of θ is not a finite intersection of prime ideals in A. We prove that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of an epimorphism from A onto another Banach algebra (or of a derivation from A into a Ban...

Abstract The elliptic algebras in the title are connected graded $\mathbb {C}$ -algebras, denoted $Q_{n,k}(E,\tau )$ , depending on a pair of relatively prime integers $n>k\ge 1$ an curve E and point $\tau \in E$ . This paper examines canonical homomorphism from to twisted homogeneous coordinate ring $B(X_{n/k},\sigma ',\mathcal {L}^{\prime }_{n/k})$ characteristic variety $X_{n/k}$ for When...

This paper is partly a report on current knowledge concerning the structure of (generic) quantized coordinate rings and their prime spectra, and partly propaganda in support of the conjecture that since these algebras share many common properties, there must be a common basis on which to treat them. The first part of the paper is expository. We survey a number of classes of quantized coordinate...
